It’s an older facility, the indoor pool area needs a face lift/paint as there is some damage there. Our room was again old but relatively clean.

I wish I had more time to enjoy the resort. I was there for an overnight place to sleep and only spent 8 hours in the room (11pm to 7am). It was quiet, but it was preseason. Breakfast was available, but we left before serving time at 7am. My only complaint was I couldn't get the AC to operate. The room was 75 F, was too warm to sleep. The day was warm, the night cooled down quickly. Opening the screened window and the door to the balcony did cool the room down to an acceptable level, but had to close the door. I could have sought out help, but do to the late hour, we didn't contact the front desk for assistance, which , I'm sure, would have corrected the problem as the check-in earlier that day was very welcoming. (Room 107-upper level if I remember correctly. Since I visit my niece every few months, I definitely plan to book at this resort again.

The place itself is awesome, staff is amazing and friendly. My room was 'clean' (i.e. the bed sheets were changed) but it smelled awful!! Of either the person who had the room before me or the person who cleaned. No towels for showering either, just the bathmat.

Love the Rhumb Line

Family friendly. Yes, it could use a remodel, but then the prices wouldn’t remain the lowest in the Port. The pool and outdoor bar is fantastic in the summer. The outdoor hot tub is great anytime.
